Box & Bundle
Strangely enough, the box doesn’t have a photo of the PSU on its front side. Only the model description and a mention of the ten-year warranty.
Product Photos
The PSU’s small dimensions and the unique design of the fan grille make an appealing combination. On the PSU’s front side, you will find the AC receptacle, the power switch, and another switch to toggle on/off the fan’s semi-passive operation. Around the back, the modular panel has eleven sockets, including a native 12V-2×6 one.

| Description | Cable Count | Connector Count (Total) | Gauge | In Cable Capacitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATX connector 20+4 pin (620mm) | 1 | 1 | 16-18AWG | No |
| 4+4 pin EPS12V (610mm) | 2 | 2 | 16AWG | No |
| 6+2 pin PCIe (750mm) | 3 | 3 | 16-18AWG | No |
| 12+4 pin PCIe (750mm) (600W) | 1 | 1 | 16-28AWG | No |
| SATA (510mm+155mm+155mm+155mm) | 2 | 8 | 18AWG | No |
| SATA 3.3 (410mm+160mm) | 1 | 2 | 18AWG | No |
| 4-pin Molex (450mm+125mm+125mm) | 1 | 3 | 18AWG | No |
There are enough cables and connectors to handle the PSU’s max power without any issues, including two EPS, three PCIe 6+2 pins on dedicated cables, and a single 12V-2×6 cable with the PSU’s setting for 600W. According to Intel’s test plan, it should be at 450W, but most manufacturers go for full power on this cable. The EPS and PCIe connectors mostly use 16AWG gauges for lower voltage drops.
The number of peripheral connectors is sufficient, and the distance between the SATA connectors is adequate. On the contrary, the 4-pin Molex connectors are relatively close to each other.
The downfall of seasonic must be studied.
Hi, Is there a chance for Phanteks AMP GH 1000W 80 Plus Platinum ATX 3.1 review ????
Unfortunately I don’t have any connection with Phanteks anymore.
Thank you for the great review! I’m personally waiting for the ATX3.1 compliant Vertex PX-1200. But a sales rep from Seasonic told me those are currently only available in Asians markets at the time. Do you maybe have an estimate when the ATX3.1 versions of the Vertex series become available in the EU?
